238 West 138th Street: Review and Ratings
between Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard & Frederick Douglass Boulevard View Full Building Profile
This handsome six-unit residential condominium building at 238 West 108th Street was scheduled for completion in the fall of 2007.
It is located in the Manhattan Valley section of the Upper West Side.
The mid-block building, which is called Columbia House, was designed by Mihai Radu Architects for 238 West 108 Realty LLC of Kings Point, N.Y., of which Robert Greenberg is a member.
The building has a canopied entrance and a red-brick façade with white decorative trim at its sides and around its multipaned windows. There is an arched window on the first floor and a larger arched window on the 5th floor.
According to Mr. Radu, the building attempts to be contextual on the street but has a quite modern rear façade with alternating glass paneled indented balconies.
The kitchens have Subzero refrigerators, 4-burner Viking stove, and Bosch dishwashers and washer and dryers. Baths have private toilet closets, Jerusalem Gold limestone floors and walls, BainUltra Jacuzzi tubs with separate steam showers and Wenge wood veneer cabinetry.
The penthouse has an outdoor fireplace and water and gas hookups.
The apartments have gas fireplaces, bamboo hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, video intercom, private key-locked elevator access, and individual cedar lined seasonal storage wardrobe closets with phone jacks "for when you forget what you went looking for."
The second through the fifth floors were priced initially starting at $1,810,000.
6sqft delivers the latest on real estate, architecture, and design, straight from New York City.
